A STRIKE ON THE ELEVATED.
The Engineers and Firemen of th' Brooklyn Road Tie Up All Trains.

The Engineers and FIremen of the
 Brooklyn Road Tie Up All Trains.
 NEW YORK, July 1.-The engineers and
 6remen on the Brooklyn elevated road struck
 at p. m. and traffic on the line was sus.
 pended. It seems that trouble has been
 brewing between the engineers and the man
 agers for some time. This morning nine
 engineers were discharged and the Brother
 hood of Engineers at once appointed com
 mittes to wait on the management and de-
 mand that the discharged employees be re-
 instated pending an investigation and arbitration. The men were then ordered to
 tie up at 4 o'clock. This was done, the men obeying to a man.. Chief Arthur of the
 national brotherhood has been telegraphed for and will come on at once to take charge of the strike. The chiefs famous visit to New York during the trouble between the Manhattan elevated road and its employees some years ago is well remembered by the Brooklyn men. 'fIf Chief Arthur could make Jay Gould and the other knuekle under, said an engineer this afternoon, "I guess he can attend to this fight too. Our quarrel IS just one and the management must reinstate l the discharged men," It is rumored that the discharge of the men was owing to desire for economy which the engineers and firemen | would not concede to be just.
 The committe of the brotherhood who waited upon the superintendent demanded in addition to the reinstatement ot the dlscharg- l ed men that nine hours should constitute a days work, for which engineers should re- l csive $3. 3.50 as at the present and hremen be paid $2.50 instead -$1.75. Manager Martin | refused. At midnight trains were running l every thirty minutes with the engines manned by switchmen. Both sides seemed determ- \ ined to hold out,

Poison in a Cheap Flannel Suit

NEW YORK, July 11.-F. H. Temple Bel lows, writer on the staff of Harper's Mag azine who lives at No. "A Clinton Place, in- formed the board of health by letter to-day that he had reason to think that cheap blue flannel suit extensively advertised and sold by Broadway firm of clothiers con- tained poisonous dyeing matter. The suits are sold at $4. MT. Bellows bought one on Saturday and found the dye staining his face and hands. Sunday he was attacked by nervous tremors and was unable to write. In the belief that the flannel suit was to blame he discarded it at once and wrote a record of his experience to the board of health. His letter was referred to Dr. Cyrus Edson, who will examine the suspected cloth and analyze the dye.

Suicide on Her Wedding Day.

NASHVILLE, N. O., July 11.-Miss Viola Meets, daughter of a prominent citizen of Graham county, N. C., was to have been married recently to John Ammons of the same county. Her father, who opposed the match, armed himself on the day of the pro- posed wedding and swore he would kill Ammons if he appeared on his premises.

The father went into the room later. The daughter was corpse and in her hand was a vial labelled strychnine

Attentions ShOWered Upon Him in
 Surprising ProfusiOn.
 EDINBURGH, July 11.-Mr. Andrew Car negie publishes letter in reference to the failure of Mir. Blaine to obtain admittance to the council chamber last Friday on the occa- sion of the presentation of the freedom of the city. In this Mir. Carnegie says: "1 am myself to blame for the accident of the ex- elusion of MT. Blaine from the chamber. I had arranged with MT. Blaine to accompany him. On the way Miss Blaine met with an accident which caused slight injury to her ankle. She was compelled to return and her father accompanied her back to their hotel. MT. Blaine was thus retarded. Instead of Mir. Blaine having any cause to complain of inattention on the part of the officials of Edinburgh, the interest the lord-provost and the public have manifested in his move ments and the universal desire to see and hear him have much surprised him. Accus- toned as he is to all this wherever he goes in his own land, he had not expected such a reception as he is everywhere accorded in Great Britain, and nowhere have the atten- tions paid to him been more marked and gratifying that in Edinburgh"
